1 Pocket Folder Tips

Pockets can be affixed either horizontally or vertically, or on the left or right side of the folder, offering a number of different aesthetic design choices.

Pocket folders can be customized with die-cut windows which will allow whatever you've stored in the pockets to be visible from the front cover.

For additional storage space, choose 3/8" expansion folders.

To protect the edges and corners of your folder from becoming worn or creased, add reinforced edges and rounded corner designs.

The shape of your pocket can be customized to your liking. Choose a curved or beveled pocket for a unique design style.

There are four different types of aqueous coating, each of which protects your folders from weathering. Glossy is shiny and smooth to the touch, matte has a similar smoothness without the shine, satin has a texture like velvet while soft-touch feels like suede.

Other coatings include laminate coating (which protects your folder from tearing and staining) and ultraviolet (UV) coating (which is less durable but more shiny).

File tabs make it possible for recipients of your folder to easily file away the contents in a drawer or filing cabinet.

Vertical pockets can be outfitted with business card slits; however, a vertically designed business card is recommended.

An unglued pocket makes it easier to access your files as the pocket opens up and folds out.
